Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Take a civics class.
Stop accepting excuses because you like the lack of results.
Why would I like him slow walking descheduling? You don't even make sense, you're just saying things to score imaginary points in your head.
If you want a dictator with dictatorial powers, boy have I got a political party for you.
Everyone who isn't happy with Democrats' deliberate uselessness must be a trumpist who wants a dictator.
no, we live in reality. reality is we have two choices and a potential catastrophe rapidly approaching - don't give ammo to the chuds who genuinely would like to see this wild, flawed but genuinely amazing in principle enterprise we call governance - the "America!" experiment - replaced with a trumpocratic shitocracy that empowers the worst of the worst.
We have a choice of fascism or deliberate uselessness in the face of fascism.
If you want me to shut up and be happy with deliberate uselessness in the face of fascism, tough shit. Democrats need to stop using looming fascism as an excuse to be second worst.
Second worst is not up to the task of defeating fascism. It's not even up to the task of preventing its spread, as we're seeing.
that's good, youk keep empowering fascists with this shit while thinking your edgelord stance is making a difference.
Meanwhile in the real world, we're gonna try to have a democracy after november which mean electing biden. wake the fuck up
I'm voting for Biden. He should deschedule cannabis and stop supporting genocide. You don't want anyone to say the second sentence because you don't want it to happen.
You want a President to take actions that he's legally not allowed to take.
So no, not everyone.
But you? Absolutely.
Schumer thinks he can take those actions. Is Chuck Schumer a Russian Chinese Trumpist tankie shill bot child too?
No, he's just a politician. He wrote a letter to the DEA, which has ultimate authority over the drugs scheduling. While the DEA is part of the Biden administration, there are limits to what Biden can do. He can pressure them, but going beyond that is pushing the law.
Schumer is trying to pressure the DEA, and trying to pressure Biden into pressuring the DEA. But that's all they can do, whip up public opinion.
Not to mention the politics of endorsing a statement they know will go nowhere, but their voters don't. Politicians do it all the time.
Either Schumer or Biden is mistaken or lying.
And you trust Biden because he supports genocide for you.
I've never called him that.
You can't defend your shitty ideas and don't want to change them, so you just sling abuse.
i've never done that
Abuse is all you have. You have no defensible ideas.
